In a Finnish 3-yr follow-up study (Antikainen et al APScand 92: 327, 1995) depression & anxiety in 42 BPD patients (out of an orig. 62) declined at the end of hospitalization (of 1 to 10 months), but suicidal behavior did not show much change. In Ryle\u2019s study of time-limited cognitive-analytic psychotherapy \u2013 of BPD patients from an inner-city population, 27 who completed the program could be divided 6 mos. later into 2 groups: those who were \u2018improved\u2019 \u2013 no longer met criteria for BPD; those with poorer out-comes had more severe features at the outset: self-cutting, alcohol abuse, & unemployment. Sabo & Gunderson (JNMD 183: 370, 1995) assessed 37 female BPD in-patients prospectively over 5 yrs.: suicidal behavior declined significantly; self-harm showed a trend toward decline; suicidal ideation did not decline notably. Zanarini (AJP 160: 274, 2003) found in 2-4-&-6 yr follow-up of 290 BPD patients that impulsive symptoms resolved most quickly; affective symptoms the most slowly.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
